Indeed. Plus the bit where it says "0 bids" suggests that it hasn't actually sold for that price. :rolleyes:
This twat thinks someone is going to fork out £220 on their Minstrels.

Excellent idea - it appears to allow passers by to hack into your sound system!
And it's got "pure, rich, incredible sound". Says so in the listing!
So far this little speaker has 258 victims. :)

For the simple reason that they are not an "old piece of shit", any more than a grease-bearing Garrard 301 is an "old piece of shit". They are rare and desirable, having been 'hyped up' by Japanese audio enthusiasts (just like Garrard 301/401 and EMT designs), so now command a lot of money - and some sucker will pay.
£2,300 is an absurd amount for a Thorens 124/II - it doesn't even come with an arm board. I doubt it will sell.
It's funny how time changes things, because that is exactly how both items were regarded in the late seventies with the advent of flash looking direct drives and the likes of Linn. This also applied to classic valve amplifiers like Leaks, Radfords and Quads, etc. Most people were mystified that some persevered with them instead moving to 'modern' solid state amps and the continued production of high class valve gear by companies like Luxman was a regarded as strange thing.
Oh dear who's going to be the one to tell Mattymoon his beloved hifi is only worth £50 ?
